VITAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please read this section carefully. Operate the auger

according to the safety instructions and recommendations

outlined here and inserted throughout the text. Anyone who

uses this auger must read the instructions and be familiar

with the controls.

•

•The ice blades are very sharp. Use extreme caution when drilling a

hole or replacing the blades. Put blade guard on after each use.

•Do not carry the auger powerhead between holes with the engine run-

ning.

•The auger should not rotate when the engine is idling.

•Always keep hands, feet, hair and loose clothing away from any

moving parts on engine and auger.

•Do not allow children to operate this power auger. Do not allow

adults to operate the auger without proper instruction.

•Do not operate any power equipment under the influence of alco-

hol or drugs.

•Keep all screws, nuts and bolts tight.

•Engine should be turned off and cool, spark plug wire must be

removed from spark plug before any repairs are attempted.

•Temperature of muffler and nearby areas may exceed 150º F (65º

C). Avoid these areas.

•Never run engine indoors or in an enclosed area. Engine exhaust

contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

•If the ice auger becomes unturnable in a hole, turn engine off and

allow to cool before attempting to remove it manually.

ENGINE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Warning Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

All engines contain carbon monoxide in their exhaust. Carbon

monoxide is a deadly, colorless, tasteless, odorless gas which

may be present even if you do not smell or see any engine

exhaust. Levels of carbon monoxide, which can be deadly,

can be present for days in an enclosed area that has poor

ventilation. Any level of carbon monoxide, if inhaled, can cause

headaches, drowsiness, nausea, dizziness, confusion and

eventually death. If you experience any of these symptons,

seek fresh air and medical attention immediately.

Preventing Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

•Never run engine indoors.

•Never try to ventilate engine exhaust indoors. Carbon mon-

oxide can reach dangerous levels very quickly.

•Never run engine outdoors where exhaust fumes may be

pulled into a building.

•Never run engine outdoors in a poorly ventilated area

where the exhaust fumes may be trapped and not easily

taken away. (Examples include: in a large hole or areas

where hills surround your working area.)

•Never run engine in an enclosed or partially enclosed area.

(Examples include: buildings that are enclosed on one or

more sides, under tents, car ports or basements.)

•Always run the engine with the exhaust and muffler pointed

in the direction away from the operator.

•Never point the exhaust muffler towards anyone. People

should always be many feet away from the operation of the

engine and its attachments.

Gasoline Fires or Handling Fuel Safely

Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable. Never use fuel

where a spark or flame may be present. Never use fuel where

a potential source of ignition could occur. (Examples include:

water or space heaters, clothes dryer, electric motors, etc.)

Keep flames and sparks away from engine and fuel to prevent

fires. Fuel fires spread very quickly and are highly explosive.

Prevention of Gasoline Fires

•Never fill your fuel tank with fuel indoors. (Examples

include: basement, garage, barn, shed, house, porch, ice

shelter, etc.)

•Always fill fuel tank outside in a well ventilated area.

•Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine run-

ning. Stop engine and allow to cool before filling.

•Never drain fuel from engine in an enclosed area.

•Always wipe up excess (spilled) fuel from engine before

starting. Clean up spilled fuel immediately.

•Allow spilled fuel to dry, after wiping and before starting.

•Allow fuel fumes/vapors to escape from the area before

starting engine.

•Test the fuel cap for proper installation before starting and

using engine.

•Always run the engine with fuel cap properly installed on

the engine.

•Replace fuel cap that allows gas to spill or leak.

•Never smoke while refilling engine fuel tank.

•Prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric

discharge. Use only non-metal, portable fuel containers

approved by the Underwriter’s Laboratory (U.L.) or the

American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM).

•Do not store engine with fuel in fuel tank indoors. Fuel and

fuel vapors are highly explosive.

•Never pour fuel from engine fuel tank.

•Never siphon fuel by mouth to drain fuel tank.

•Always have an adult fill the fuel tank.

•

•Never allow children to fill the fuel tank.

Prevention of Burns and Fires

•Never remove the muffler guard from the engine.

•Never touch the muffler guard because it is extremely hot

and will cause severe burns.

•Never touch parts of the engine that become hot after

operation.

•Always keep materials and debris away from muffler guard

and other hot parts of the engine to avoid fires.

CAUTION

HOT GASES ARE A NORMAL BY-PRODUCT OF A

FUNCTIONING CATALYTIC CONVERTER. FOLLOW

ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO PREVENT BURNS

AND FIRES.

CAUTION

TAKE GREAT CAUTION WITH MUFFLER, MUFFLER

GUARD & OTHER PARTS OF ENGINE AS THEY

BECOME EXTREMELY HOT DURING OPERATION.

THESE PARTS REMAIN EXTREMELY HOT EVEN

AFTER ENGINE HAS STOPPED.

Never allow a child or anyone under the influence of alcohol

to fill the fuel tank.

OPERATION

STEPS FOR WORKING ON ENGINE OR AUGER

Shake the container to mix fuel and oil.

Unscrew gas cap slowly to vent, add the remainder of fuel re-

quirements.

Wipe away any spilled fuel or oil and allow to evaporate before

moving or transporting.
